Sheffield Crash ‘accident waiting to happen’ say residents

Scene of the hit and run incident on Normanton Hill near to Richmond Park in the Intake area

Residents living near the scene of the crash which killed Jasmyn Chan said her death was an ‘accident waiting to happen’ and called for more speed signs and a crossing for children on Normanton Hill.

Sandra Bradley, aged 67, who lives opposite, said: “There’s nothing to tell drivers they should be doing 30mph. Cars go well over 40mph. Children are always congregating in the park and they need a crossing.”

Another resident, a 66-year-old man who wished to remain anonymous, said a sign was fitted close to where Jasmyn died which showed a ‘smiley face’ if a car was travelling within 30mph.

The sign has since been removed, leaving a black pole. “Very rarely did the sign have a smile on its face when the cars went through,” said the man.
